PNEUMATICALLY DRIVEN VEHICLE WITH RECHARGEABLE BATTERY DURING DRIVE- AN EXPLORATORY STEP IN ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Energy can be stored in compressed air form at very high pressures running to a few dozens of atmospheres. The compressed air properly controlled, timed, released through pressure regulators etc., can be used to run Pistons that in turn can drive an engine. This compressed air can be furnished through already available accumulator as well as through an on board compressor. A battery which gets duly charged as per needs on line in a running vehicle through solar energy depending on availability or offline when the vehicle is stationary can support to run a d.c motor too which in turn can drive the vehicle. This works as a redundant system to attend the drive power needs or in managing to reach destinations.
